A Lewmar 44 hatch gives access to the inside of the boat, with a large storage area. All the necessary equipment (sails, etc...) can be locked inside.

A powerful inverted vang system positioned on the top of the boom gives an efficient control of the mainsail roached tension. The space under the boom is free for manoeuvres like spinnaker hoist, drop and jib tacking. A special padded jib protection is fitted on the bottom base of the mast. |

The boat comes with easily removable wings to limit the width at 2.35 m. This provides for convenient storage and transportation. 3 boats can fit in a 40' container to simplify fleet management. |

A useful light aluminium cradle gives the opportunity to lift the keel single-handled for launching and recovery or even to limit the draft when moored. The cradle can be stored inside the boat on an adapted bracket. This device is optional. |

The central pit area gives the opportunity to manage all the halyards, haulout and tacklines from a single area accessible by the crewmembers. The aft part of the cockpit can then be dedicated to spinnaker manoeuvres. The pit is protected by foot steps coming from the mast area in the centre of the boat. |
